Sunday, July 24, 2005Just when I thought I was out...
I have to admit the fourth season of Smallville really didn't thrill me that much. Honestly, with as great as Lost was this year, there were times new eps of Smallville got lost in the shuffle. I'm not even sure I've watched my tape of the season finale yet...in fact, I'm pretty sure I haven't.

So, when I heard it was moving to Thursdays in the fall, I wasn't too upset about it.

But then.....TV Guide On-Line reports this...

HE'S A BRAINIAC, BRAINIAC...:James Marsters (aka Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) will be joining the cast of WB's Smallville this fall as college professor Milton Fine, aka the alter ego of Brainiac, one of Superman's greatest and most formidable villains. Says a WB rep, "Brainiac's presence in Smallville will have a devastating effect on Clark and Lex's already deteriorating friendship." Marsters' run is slated for six episodes. Hey, does Lois Lane need another sister, perhaps played by Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Of course, the real question is--what will this do the potential plans for a Spike movie on WB?
